Filter by:In this study, the effects of different treatment methods for ankle instability patients are being compared aiming to find the optimal treatment. Via comparing virtual reality, motor imagery, and classic rehabilitation programs to clarify their effects on ankle static and dynamic balance, proprioception, range of motion, muscle strength, pain, function and patient satisfaction.
Manual lymphatic drainage techniques (MLDTs) are special techniques in manual therapy used in rehabilitation for treatment of physical dysfunctions and pathologies. Such practices could be done by medical team or clinicians. Theories on MLDTs address functions like stimulating the lymphatic system by increasing lymph circulation, facilitating the removal of waste products from body tissues, reducing edema, and decreasing the responses of sympathetic nervous system while increasing the parasympathetic nervous tone leading to a relaxed body state.
Ankle sprains are the most common musculoskeletal complaint of children presenting to the emergency department (ED). Healing can often be protracted, leading to prolonged pain, missed school and work, and delayed return to a normal activity level. Smartphone apps have been shown to be associated with greater caregiver knowledge and improved outcomes in a number of conditions but have not been explored in ankle sprains. We would like to know if using a smartphone app for children with ankle inversion injuries leads to improved functional outcomes such as pain, mobility, and return to activity. We will be comparing a smartphone app that provides education and daily management reminders to a paper handout to see if the former leads to improved functional recovery.
Functional Hop tests and balance measurements are frequently used to decide on returning to sports after lower extremity injuries. Although the athletes show proficiency in these tests and measurements, re-injuries occur when returning to sports. The causes of these re-injuries are mostly functional deficiencies such as inadequate neuromuscular control and stability. In the competition or sports environment, especially in team games, the athlete also shows cognitive performance, such as communication with teammates and following the game, which are included in the game setup, as well as the physical performance. Performing many tasks or performances at the same time divides the focus of attention on the activities performed, and if the person cannot adequately meet the attention demands, the quality of one or more of the tasks performed will deteriorate. As the level of expertise in the sport increases, the athlete tends to manage his posture, balance and movement with automatic postural control and can focus his attention on a new task. The concept of focus of attention has been evaluated from different perspectives over time. If it is examined in terms of direction; It is divided into two as the internal focus of attention, which is used by focusing on body movements during the performance of the person, and the external focus of attention, which is used by focusing on the effect of the movement during the performance of the person. As the investigators planned in this study, a second cognitive task assigned to the participant simultaneously during his or her physical performance acts as an external focus of attention, allowing movement control during performance to be carried out by unconscious or automatic processes. The investigators's aim; It is to examine the balance and functional hop tests that the investigator will apply in athletes by combining them with a simultaneous dual cognitive task that will reflect the field conditions more realistically. In the meantime, investigators think that with the sharing of our results with the literature, it can contribute to both the decision-making processes to return to sports after injury and preventive rehabilitation programs.
Soft Tissue Adapted Biocompatible Hyaluronic Acid, or STABHA™, has demonstrated varying degrees efficacy in patients treated for common musculoskeletal tendinopathies and ligament injuries, such as ankle sprains, lateral elbow tendinopathy, and rotator cuff tendinopathies. Factors associated with prognosis following treatment remain largely unknown. Identifying appropriate patient populations for use of STABHA™ is a necessary first step to facilitate the design of future clinical trials in the management of acute and chronic musculoskeletal soft-tissue injuries.
The purpose of the study is to determine whether the use of waterproof padding in short leg walking casts will lead to an increase in cast-related complications, as compared to the standard non-waterproof casting in children.
The purpose of the study is actually the translation, cultural adaptation and psychometric validation in the Italian Version of the Identification of Functional Ankle Instability (IdFAI) English Version for use in outpatient clinics in non-English subjects to objectify chronic ankle instability.
The investigator's purpose is to compare the effects of talocrural joint mobilization with movement versus thrust mobilization on functional performance in subjects reporting chronic ankle instability (CAI).
Anterior talofibular ligament is the most injured ligament in ankle sprain. Investigators will include ankle sprain patients who have ankle pain or instability more than 3 months. Ultrasonography will be done for confirm ligament injury. Participants will be randomized into two groups. Participants in dextrose injection group will accept dextrose 15% injection to tendon and enthesis. In the other hand, subcutaneous sham injection to control group. Pain condition, stability test and function test, will be evaluated in 1 week, 4 weeks and 12 weeks after injection.
